Can we provide the real reason that the ballot should not count instead of pretending like it’s unclear who the vote was actually for? The ballot is Rs down the line. But, having two bubbles filled in invalidates the vote for that house position.

That ballot should be invalidated for a ton of reasons, but inconclusiveness isn’t one of them.

Right, because humans can only ever focus on one thing at a time.

NO. It’s not different, and to say that is to buy into their scheme. What do you think the other part of your tax money goes to? (Besides a lot of fucking bullshit defense programs, but you know.) If you’re a taxpayer, you pay for Medicaid and SNAP and TANF and whatever else you want to throw in as well as paying for…

That’s only for surface landers, though. An atmospheric probe that hangs out in Venus’ upper atmosphere (like the Soviet balloon probes) could last a long time while doing useful atmospheric research on Venus, and even a new orbiter to supplement Akatsuki over Venus would be very useful.

They were debating on Long Blockchain and Long Linked List. I think they made the right call.

The algorithm! It comes for us all! God help us when someone learns to control it for evil! What? That happened awhile ago? Like a long time ago? Shit.

You mean this wasn’t enough?

The part that absolutely kills me is *some* of this shit wouldn’t happen if they were in good enough shape not to be threatened by unarmed civilians who actually walk places from time to time and lift things.

Scott Adams is also an idiot, so this checks out.

Social Security should not be lumped in with the rest of the welfare programs. We all paid into SS; it belongs to us. It’s not the same kind of entitlement as, say, TANF. Since we’ve been paying for it all our working lives, it doesn’t add a penny to the deficit. Taking it away, or cutting it (beyond that which is…

Venus exploration gets screwed over again. Even if it gets picked on the next Discovery Program round, it’ll be almost thirty years since we last launched a probe to Venus. And that’s about as much as we can hope for, because the next Flagship mission - assuming the money is there - is almost certainly going to either…

If you get your “news” from facebook, you are an idiot.

Those probably should have been addressed during the recount.

But how many other ballots which looked like this were discarded? Come on, they know the rules of the game. This ballot should have been discarded and should have stayed discarded.

All over twitter it’s “Judges are stealing the House” but come on, the intention of the voter is pretty clear.

While super disappointing, it’s pretty hard to be upset about the judges determining that to be a vote for the Republican. Because c’mon, it clearly was.

Trump’s jealous of guys like Erdogan. All he can do is whine on twitter while Erdogan can put you on trial when you hurt his feelings. Imagine a world where Trump got to live out his dictatorial fantasies.  People actually voted for this guy.

Fuck charity, raise taxes.
